    TRUE. There’s one near me that I frequent, the owners recognize me and this is kinda weird but they have a specific huge glass that they always bring out for me 'cuz they know I drink a lot and always send me home with a bunch of free candy 'cuz they know I’ve got four younger siblings.

    But once they bring out your order they disappear into the back. You gotta ring the bell for any kind of service, just a quirk of the restaurant being run by Chinese immigrants in their 60s.

      Lol I bet people whine about that all the time

      Upper class Americans acting all porky-scared whenever the kindest soul from another country doesn’t understand the servitude culture in America where you’re expected to get on your knees and kiss the customers’ ass with a forced smile and an overly positive tone of voice

        Word. God forbid you have to get up to fill your own water glass or something. Like i have nothing but admiration for food ninjas who just appear in your field of view to ask if you need anything then vanish when you blink, or who keep your glass full the whole meal but you never see them, but people shouldn’t have to work like that.
